☆ Staring at a screen the whole workday can hurt your eye health—4 ways to reduce strain
  + stars: | 2024-06-26 | by ( Alex Koller | ) www.cnbc.com   time to read: +2 min
Even as few as two hours daily on a device can cause eye problems, says Dr. Steven Reed, an optometrist and president of the AOA. Unmanaged screen use can lead to issues including dry eye, eye strain, back and neck pain, headaches, heavy eyelids, tearing and blurred vision. Modify brightness to a comfortable level depending on surrounding lighting and increase contrast on your device to reduce glare. Getting glasses that block blue light and reflective light, which are available for prescription and non-prescription lenses, can be an effective option for some people to prevent eye strain, too, eye doctors say. "If you're on your screen until bedtime and then you don't really sleep well, that impacts your overall health significantly," he says.

☆ Symptoms from excessive screen time cost the U.S. $73 billion a year, study finds

American workers are spending too much time looking at screens. As a result, symptoms of "excessive screen time," or more than seven hours of screen time a day, are costing the U.S. $73 billion per year, the report said. The figure was determined by analyzing the direct financial costs incurred by health systems, the symptoms' impact on productivity at work, and their perceived impact on an individual's well-being. Just two hours of screen time per day can induce these symptoms, and if left untreated, the study found they can "lead to decreased productivity, exacerbate other undiagnosed eye conditions and may affect an individual's sleep quality and mental health." The study found that people with excessive screen time exposure could save as much as $1,920 per person by seeing an optometrist and managing their symptoms.

☆ The climate has changed — so should our economics
  + stars: | 2022-09-01 | by ( Jennifer Steinmann | ) www.businessinsider.com   time to read: +5 min
If we take decisive climate action now, there is potential to add $43 trillion in net present value to the global economy by 2070. Not only could un-checked climate change lead to significant damage on an environmental and human scale, but it would also be detrimental to the global economy. The Deloitte Economics Institute's recently released Global Turning Point report finds that unchecked climate change could create $178 trillion in global economic losses (in present value terms) between now and 2070. The Deloitte Economics Institute analysis reveals economic growth and opportunities through the new jobs, industries, and innovations that could lie ahead in the next 50 years if we take swift and substantive global climate action. How the transformation looks and unfolds will vary by region, but the Deloitte Economics Institute's modeling shows that nearly every country and sector would gain through swift decarbonization and climate action.
